INFLUENCE OF IMAGE PROCESSING CONDITIONS OF DEBYE SCHERRER RING IMAGES IN X-RAY STRESS MEASUREMENT USING AN IMAGING PLATE

Abstract

This paper describes the study of the possibility of x-ray stress measurement in which stresses are obtained by analyzing the whole of one diffraction ring detected with a two-dimensional x-ray detector called an imaging plate (IP). The theory of the stress determination proposed by Taira et al (1978) was shown and advanced to make measurable all plane stress components. The experiment showed good agreement with stresses applied mechanically.
